The first step involved stripping the car down to its chassis, a laborious process that revealed more rust and wear than anticipated, necessitating extensive metalwork
Interior restoration was next, where we sourced authentic materials to bring the inside of the car back to its former glory.
Initially, the search for the perfect vintage car to renovate led us to numerous auctions and private sales, where we finally found a classic with potential buried under years of neglect.
Finally, after months of hard work, the car was ready for its first drive.
